LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Mayor Karen Bass is scheduled Monday to deliver what her office calls a State of the City address “as she sets the tone for the year ahead and shares how Los Angeles is preparing to take the world stage” — a reference to the 2026 World Cup, 2027 Super Bowl and 2028 Olympics.
“The State of the City will reflect this moment and serve as a unifying celebration of Los Angeles, the city that we love: its people, neighborhoods, and cultures,” Bass’ office said in a statement announcing the speech, which will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at 3 p.m.
Traditionally, the State of the City address comes in April, as the city’s budget process begins. But Monday, Bass is expected to highlight the city’s preparations as the L.A. area’s big events draw nearer — starting with eight World Cup games set to be played at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium in June and July.
Bass is also expected to give a second, more traditional State of the City address in mid-April. Los Angeles mayors typically give their State of the City address in the spring to detail their priorities, tout accomplishments and discuss the release of the city’s budget for the next fiscal year.
